“A measurement, in this context, is an irreversible act in which uncertainty collapses to certainty. It is the link between the quantum and classical worlds, the point where what might happen - multiple paths, interference patterns, spreading clouds of probability - is replaced by what does happen: some event in the classical world, whether the click of a counter, the activation of an optic nerve in someone's eye, or just the coalescence of a glob of matter triggered by a quantum event.”

“I am indeed and mortally pierced with the seeds of love.”
― Elizabeth Smart

“We perish, each alone, and his remoteness.”
― Virginia Woolf

“These were the lovely bones that has grown around my absence: the connections - sometimes tenuous, sometimes made at great cost, but often magnificent - that happened after I was gone.”
